Earlier this week in our eNewsletter, we announced that we are launching an Instagram account to celebrate the swing into spring! We’ll be sharing photos from all our favorite green places around Greenpoint and Williamsburg. Follow the action on Instagram at GreenpointGWAPP and be on the lookout for future photo contests we’ll be holding over the summer.

Similarly, if you take an awesome photo of something related to parks, open spaces, green spaces, waterfront, etc. in North Brooklyn, and we’re sure you will, share it with us! Tag it with #GreenpointGWAPP or the park name/location (ex: #McCarrenPark, #IndiaStPier). We want to see how you, your friends and your family enjoy the waterfront and open spaces in the neighborhood!

Also, this is a great way to share with us if you see something you don’t like–graffiti, litter, dogs off leash, idling trucks, etc.–we want to see and hear about what’s important to you!
